In what way is it blocking the ps2 mouse? The touchpad should be able to
function as a ImPS/2 mouse without the synaptics driver. Try doing cat
/dev/psaux as root from the console and then move your finger on the
touchpad and see if you get any output.
See some possible corrections to you XF86Config file below (no
guaranties but work for me with an alps touchpad).

Kill the above line, you are trying to use the same input (/dev/psaux)
in two different sections at the same time, once as touchpad and once
as mouse, this has got to create a conflict.
